Tas prosecutor charged over fatal crash

TASMANIA'S Director of Public Prosecutions, Tim Ellis, has been charged over a three-car accident that killed a woman earlier this year.

Mr Ellis, 58, was driving near Lovely Banks on the Midland Highway on March 24 when he crossed onto the wrong side of the road and collided head-on with a woman's hatchback in the overtaking lane, police say.

The 27-year-old Launceston woman died at the scene, while Mr Ellis was taken to hospital for a broken leg.
